Book Reviews of Caliente Quilts: Create Breathtaking Quilts Using Bold Colored Fabrics
Book Review: Eye candy
Summary: 4 Stars
First: IANAQ. I knit rugs, using quilt patterns as inspiration. This book has a lot of inspiration.
Next: 67 pages about Guatemala and its textiles and a bit about quilting in general and all illustrated with great photos. 40 pages of specific quilt patterns which, in and of themselves, are readily available elsewhere. The patterns expressed in this fabric, however, are not.
The real power is in the gallery pictures, which are pure inspiration and you are left to work out the patterns yourself (which isn't hard).
The use of color falls in the family of Fassett, Moran and Marston, only a bit easier to live with than M&M, IMO; bolder than Beyer. Make the fabric do the work, rather than the piecing. I am encouraged to shift my knitting in a different direction by looking at these pictures.
If you're thinking you could stand to have your own colorways pulled up a notch or two in the direction of "vibrant," spend some time soaking in these pictures. Good stuff is bound to happen.
(four not five because I would much rather have seen a bigger gallery section, with full-page pictures, instead of the "how to quilt" content which is repeated everywhere.)
